Managing performance - Geert Bouckaert

“Managing Performance: International Comparisons” by Geert Bouckaert and John Halligan is a comprehensive academic study that examines the theory and practice of performance management in public sector organisations across a wide range of countries, analysing whether and how performance management models contribute to organisational effectiveness and accountability in different administrative contexts. The book offers a systematic framework for understanding the impact of performance measurement and management, presenting international case studies that illustrate how these models have been implemented and with what effects, while also exploring contradictions, challenges and future directions for performance governance in the public sphere. It is aimed at students, researchers and practitioners of management, public administration and public policy, providing comparative insight into how diverse administrative systems approach the measurement and improvement of performance.
